It was sunny on the day the journey began
Seems i was a part of some lack of a plan
Was i early?
'Cause you weren't ready
Looking back now where it all seems bizarre
The boy in the photo on the seat of the car
That's me
At least it was me
Back then
Please leave all shiny objects behind
You won't need them where we're going
Relax, take a deep breath, and concentrate now
We really must be gone
There's a risk in everything we undertake
But now you must trust me more than anyone
'Cause i've seen things
That you could only dream about
I've been to places that you'll never find
And i've had dreams that you couldn't even fit inside your head now
All the places i wish i could find
'Cause i've seen things
That you could only dream about
I've been to places that you'll never find
And i've had dreams that you couldn't even fit inside your head now
All the places i wish i could find
Guess we can't really choose exactly where we land
But how fast you were bound is in your own hands
Are you ready?
Am i too early?
Looking back now where it all seems bizarre
The boy in the photo on the seat of the car
That's me
At least it was me
Back then
Relax, take a deep breath, and concentrate now
We really must be gone
There's a risk in everything we undertake
Now, you must trust me more than anyone

I never knew what you thought was here
Get another fear to add to the list
I've been collecting little lies
Just to put on the special tape
I get them to play the day you die
I'll tell them you were always frightened
Just like anybody else
And you cried inside just like me
You seem to live with fingertips
Wrapped around your face
Does it keep the dark away?
Talk to me and tell me that all of them are wrong
And all my dreams will come in time
Trying, trying to understand it all
To understand it all just makes your head hurt
Trying, trying to understand it all
To understand it all just makes your head hurt
Yes you have all the pieces they said that you had to collect
But what did you expect that all to amount to?
Trying, trying to understand it all
To understand it all just makes your head hurt
Trying, trying to understand it all
To understand it all just makes your head hurt

I have the captain on the line
Wants to know who made it through this time
Wants to know who's smiling this time
Don't know what the captain has to say, on how this decorated man became a boy
Doesn't want to know that it's bed time
Wants just one more game to see him through night time
Although they took his men away, he wants the paper and the empty box to stay
I have the captain on the line
Wants to know who made it through this time
Wants to know who's smiling this time
Although they took his men away, he wants the paper and the empty box to stay
"Drusky wanted God to return his youth and grant him the guitar-playing skills of the famous guitarists along with resurrecting his mother and his pet pigeon.
If God failed to appear in court, federal rules of civil procedure said he must lose by default."

Good evening, welcome to the party
Please sit wherever you want
I love unicorns
I loved you once
Good evening, welcome to the party
Please sit wherever you want
I was a house once
I moved out, you moved away
Good evening, welcome to the party
Please sit wherever you want
Good evening, welcome to the party
Goodnight

Donald's Pleasance

Came to say how you feel today, how you feel inside
You can't tell me that you know how it feels
When you don't seem to feel at all
You came here today to tell me this, you think I'm stupid?
This is the funeral of our love
I came here only to say goodbye
Leonard stop the trains by any certain means
I couldn't bear to board another
She not me was the dealer
With a tiny useless fucking shelter
David pass me the wine, like you I'm "really not fine"
Did I really mean her harm?
I never set foot in the country
Donald tell me why pleasance never gets me anywhere, anymore
Was the lovely man from Mars?
I never liked Venus at all
This brittle house our love has stained
I've left before and I'll leave again
But your little blue moods drag me in
But I know you won't be bringing me down this time
Growing pains and empty days
Records played and certain shades of blue remind me still of you
But I know you won't be bringing me down this time
You can't tell me that you know how it feels
When you don't seem to feel at all
This is the funeral of our love
I came here only to say goodbye
This is the funeral of our love
I came here only to say goodbye
This is the funeral of our love
I came here only to say goodbye

Fire Engine On Fire Pt I
06:46

It's not always easy to know when to stop
'Cause the biggest pig of all is love
Be my bad dog if you want
Be my true hog if you want
Absence makes the heart grow stronger that's what they say
But how can I miss you at all if you won't go away?
Be my bad dog if you want
Be my true hog if you want
I lose my train of thought
I lose my train of thought
Please help me now, 'cause I am falling down
You left here without me, now I'm falling down
Save me from myself, 'cause I'm falling down...

I have the tapes
I have the plan of a clockwork man
He was happy to walk
Where I always ran
When I'm orchestrated, automated, decimated, regulated
From three folls' creek
From underground by a despot man and a clown
If you choose to walk instead with a clockwork man
Map of warm roads in his concrete hand
Tell me, does he miss reeling?
Does he miss falling?
Can he take you where the boom bands play?
When you're underground
Can he read the sounds
And chase the Hakken-Kraks away?

I could never ask for what I really wanted
So I bought one for you, just to see me through
So put your hand in my hand and we'll swim through warmer waters
Push through the tiny door into the ball
Each and every room is different from the other one
There's one for every day of a beautiful life
Delivery in a broken box means better in-flight video
I'm afraid I've heard it all before
This one has no gravity and that one's upside down
And that one's full of buttons you press to feel
The all round audio-visual masterpiece of pleasure
But you must still be ready for the falls
Not all of them are happy and some are far from funny
But every one will help you on your way
Everything you want is here, though I'd better make it clear
This soul's mine and that's the way it's going to stay
Everyone you know is here, even those that disappeared
They just hid out here amongst the trees

Can you tell me why you left me here all on my own?
Can you hear me?
Do you listen to me?
'Cause I need you
But you once told me that friends don't need me
They just need someone to phone when they have nobody,
Nobody else to shout at when they're so very down
I have a book in which that I write everything
And I know where you've been
One day I'll tell them how I defeated you
And how I took your throne
As the meanest bastard in all Alberquerque
And how I'm happy alone

So sad, have you seen your soul in the Sunday papers?
Trying hard to step aside for death
Service with a smile, the reel to reel rank and file
Looking at your face and I seem misplaces, ah ha ha
Look at me with my face in the middle of the Sunday paper
Laughing on the side, looking on the bright side
Black side, downside, never on the outside
Looking at the ways you choose to keep it like a dream and a house in the middle
Christmas present in the middle of June, well I've been fooled before and so have you, ah ha ha
All the songs will be with you and all the flowers will be with me
But I can't seem to forget you
And all the clowns will be with you and all the children sing with me
(I can hear the rolling seas and I can feel the summer breeze)
But I can't seem to forget you
(But I cannot leave you here, I know you want me to)
Christmas present in the middle of June, I've been wrong before but so have you, ah ha ha
Look at me with my face in the middle of the Sunday paper
Christmas present in the middle of June, I've been wrong before but so have you, ah ha ha
Looking at the ways you choose to keep it like a dream and a house in the middle
Christmas present in the middle of June, I've been fooled before but so have you, ah ha ha

Flotation Toy Warning UK
Most of the band met whilst working in Nth London in a sprawling old grey brick building.They agreed to live together in an old warehouse with no windows in E. London, ideal for making as much noise as you wanted, whenever you wanted. Which they did, by plugging things into other things that shouldn’t rightly be plugged into anything, then singing through them until something interesting happened. ... more
